Recreational cannabis is now legally sold in one of the largest cities in Switzerland.
The country has officially launched its cannabis pilot project on Monday, allowing a few hundred selected participants to buy cannabis for adult use in several pharmacies in the Swiss city of Basel.
Swiss authorities gave green light to the pilot project last year. The project aims in particular to improve the understanding of « alternative regulatory forms », such as regulated sales in pharmacies, which could serve as a basis for future legislation and study its impact on consumers and the black market.
